The Giants will play the last-place Bears and 49ers next season.Getty Images

They do not know who the general manager will be. They do not know who the head coach will be. Heck, they do not even know who the starting quarterback will be. But, thanks to their firm hold on last place in the NFC East, the Giants know exactly who their 2018 opponents will be.

The two open spots on the 2018 schedule are reserved for the same-place finisher in the NFC North and NFC West, and those last-place assignments are already secure. So, the Giants will face the Bears (last place in the NFC North) at MetLife Stadium and the 49ers (last in the NFC West) in Santa Clara, Calif.

So, all this losing will benefit the Giants next season, as they will get an extremely high selection in the 2018 draft — they currently hold the No. 2 pick — and play a last-place schedule.
